Hyderabad: ACB Arrests Employee for Bribery
The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has arrested an outsourcing employee working at the office of the Chairman, Telangana Commission for Backward Classes in Khairtabad. The arrest took place on Friday after the employee was found demanding and accepting a bribe.
The accused, Golla Srinivas, allegedly asked for ₹1 lakh as the first installment to process a file related to the complainant’s caste. Officials from the City Range-2 Unit of the ACB caught him red-handed while accepting the money. A chemical test on his fingers confirmed the presence of the bribe amount.
Srinivas has been taken into custody and will be presented before the Principal Special Judge for SPE and ACB cases in Nampally. Authorities have stated that the investigation is still ongoing.
In January, the ACB registered 19 cases, including 10 trap cases, one case of disproportionate assets, and three cases of criminal misconduct. Additionally, the bureau initiated three regular inquiries and three discreet inquiries during the same period.
The ACB has urged the public to report any cases of corruption or bribery by public servants. People can call their toll-free number, 1064, or report incidents on their official social media accounts on X (@TelanganaACB) and Facebook (@telanganaacb) for quick action.
